I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello

If pregnancy tests are negative and it’s only been ~8 days, don’t start Primolut-N on your own.

It’s a prescription hormone (norethisterone) that should be taken only after a clinician rules out causes of the delay.

What could be happening:

Stress, travel, illness, or sleep changes can delay ovulation → late period Herbal supplements can sometimes affect hormones or timing Cycles can occasionally vary even if you’re usually regular

When Primolut-N is used: Doctors prescribe it to delay or trigger bleeding in specific situations It’s not a first step just for a short delay without evaluation

What you can do now: Wait a few more days — many periods come within 1–2 weeks of the expected date

Repeat a pregnancy test if there was any recent risk (use first-morning urine)

See a gynecologist if: no period after ~2 weeks total delay repeated irregular cycles new symptoms appear (pain, unusual discharge, heavy spotting)

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

Given that your period is 9 days late and the pregnancy tests are negative, it is understandable to consider options to induce menstruation. Primolut-N is a medication that contains norethisterone, a synthetic form of progesterone, often used to manage menstrual disorders. However, it’s crucial to ensure that pregnancy is definitively ruled out before taking this medication. Sometimes home pregnancy tests can be inaccurate if taken too early or not done according to instructions. Retesting or consulting your healthcare provider for a more sensitive test could be warranted. Besides, an evaluation might help identify any underlying issues such as stress, hormonal imbalances, or changes in weight or physical activity that could be affecting your cycle.

Before taking Primolut-N, it’s advisable to engage with a healthcare professional who can consider your medical history, any possible allergies, and other medications you might be taking, as it can interact with certain conditions and medications. For instance, it might be contraindicated if you have a history of thromboembolic disorders due to the risk of blood clots. Additionally, your lifestyle, any other symptoms you are experiencing, and any recent changes in your life should be assessed to ensure a comprehensive approach.

After medical consultation, if Primolut-N is deemed appropriate, its use is typically initiated as prescribed by the healthcare professional. Meanwhile, maintaining a record of your menstrual cycle including any irregularities can be helpful in consultations. Bear in mind that persistent or frequently irregular periods should be further evaluated to rule out conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid dysfunction. Your healthcare provider can guide you with further diagnostic tests such as blood tests or imaging if needed, ensuring all aspects are considered for effective management.
